Introducing our love experiment for the month- giving a gift to your spouse every Friday for a month.
Alright, it is June and that means its time to introduce our Marriage Laboratory Experiment of the Month (MLEM if you like- you can remember it because it sounds like phlem)!
This year all our experiments are based on Gary Chapman’s 5 Love Languages book and February will be all about . .. . . .
GIFTS!
The challenge is to give your spouse a little gift every Friday for a month. The biggest roadblock I see forming in your head (and mine) is money. It doesn’t have to be a big gift. For those with the love language of gifts, they just want the acknowledgement that someone is thinking of them.
It can be as simple as emailing your spouse a song that made you think of them, or picking up their favorite candy for a little surprise, or writing out a plan for future date nights.
Just something fun to show your spouse you are thinking of them each week.
Here’s the experiment explained scientific method style:
PROBLEM:
- When we are busy we can forget to show our spouses how much we love and appreciate them.
- Our spouses feel unseen and unappreciated.
- We can get in a rut of doing the same old thing with our spouse without much novelty or spontaneity.
EXPERIMENT METHOD:
- Give a simple gift to your spouse every Friday for a month.
MATERIALS NEEDED:
- 4 small gifts
- Creativity
- Love
HYPOTHESIS:
- Our spouses’ love tanks will be fuller as they feel more noticed, loved and appreciated.
- We will get excited to think of fun, small ways to make their week and love them all the more.
